Definitely not on copyright grounds, since almost all state flags (except Georgia, Mississippi, and soon to be Utah) are old enough to have entered the public domain.

when there’s not a recognised disability involved but just health issue/s (which could be “disabling”).

From the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, in regards to the ADA:

Under the ADA , you have a disability if you have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity.

Essentially, if you are disabled, you have a disability, whether recognized or not. If you are not disabled, then you do not have a disability.

Under this definition, something like asthma, which is fairly common, can be a disability when it comes to strenuous activities, but isn’t something that is immediately obvious to someone just passing on the street.

As far as it being ablist to assume that someone not showing signs of disability isn’t disabled? No, that’s silly. Not believing them if they tell you they can’t run a mile because they have asthma? Still no, that’s skepticism.

Ablism would be something like planning a company outing, and choosing the location up a tall, steep hill when other options were available, specifically because you don’t like the fact that your coworker has asthma.

c/196 has 1 rule: if you arrive, you have to post something before you leave. People have taken to putting the word “rule” in their titles to show their compliance, but it’s not strictly necessary.

The part between the corners of the image. It’s white and has grey and green blobs on it. You can’t miss it.

The dude could probably take out your lungs and heart with his eyes closed.

To be fair, so could I.

Both.

Tolkien constructed an actual language for use in his works, and the gibberish you see on the keyboard is that language.

Says who?

Says the diagram in the OP, the EM spectrum of a 5800K star, which clearly shows a peak within the visible spectrum in the blue band, and a significant (25% or so) drop off by the time it gets to the red band. Those aren’t relatively equal.

As near as I can tell, your entire argument is based on what a human being perceives to be “white”, and I’m not talking about perception at all, because it lies. Examples:

• The sky looks blue. It’s not blue, and you can tell by looking anywhere that isn’t the sky in the daytime, because the air is the same everywhere.

• Related: the sun looks yellow. The sun looks yellow for the same reason the sky looks blue.

• When I close my eyes, I can’t see anything. That doesn’t mean everything is black or the same color as my eyelids.

• Your own dress example, where different people would see different colors in the same dress.

You and I are arguing about two completely different things. You are talking about what color something looks to be, in terms of colloquial terms used to describe things people can see. I am talking about what color it is, in terms of temperature and wavelength, which are things people can measure.

Colors are a perception, true, which is why we don’t really talk about colors, we talk about wavelengths and temperature. 5800K is not white (relatively equal amounts of all visible light wavelengths), it’s light blue (decent amounts of most visible light wavelengths, but a significant peak in the 450-500nm wavelength band, which looks blue to us). Lightbulbs use color temperature because filament and halogen lights generate light the same way the sun does: by getting hot, and how hot it is determines the light wavelengths emitted. That’s why I included the chart, it’s a good analogue.

If you look at the graph provided in the OP, you can see for yourself that there’s significantly more blue than anything else being emitted.

It’s really a pale blue. If it were white, the visible spectrum would be pretty even, but you can see the graph is higher on the blue edge and lower on the red edge. There’s enough green and red to brighten it a lot, but it’s definitely blue.

In fact, the sun’s surface temperature is around 5800K, and you can look up what color that actually is wherever you go light bulb shopping.

This shows the colors based on temperature, and the sun is firmly in the “Day White.” It’s called white, but you can see it’s pretty clearly blue, especially next to the “Direct Sun” color.

Oh, I misunderstood, I didn’t realize in this scenario you were asking them if they were nonbinary. The linguistic answer is everything in Spanish defaults to masculine.

I, personally, would treat it the same as I treat the pronoun game here in the US, because it’s essentially the same thing: I start with whichever one jumps out at me and accept correction if necessary, because they are the ones who made the decision to make their grammatical identifiers differ from convention. It’s not my responsibility to know it ahead of time.

If they want to be a dick about it, I now know they’re not someone I want to spend time around anyway.

No binario is masculine, because it ends in -o. To make it feminine, it is changed to no binaria, ending in -a. Therefore, no binaria is feminine.

There are neutral adjectives that end in something else, such as verde (green) or feliz (happy), but most adjectives do not have a neutral form.

It sounds stupid, but the chatbot is actually right. The person saying the phrase would pick one based on how they view or present themselves. It’s not a disparagement to say that a non-binary individual has a gender with respect to Spanish grammatical structure, because quite literally everything does. Chairs are feminine, days are masculine, etc.

There’s a few reasons.

The biggest reason is that bittorrent doesn’t download segments in order. YouTube is a video streaming service, so the video will stop playing after segment 5 if you don’t have segment 6, regardless of how many segments you actually have. This is a user experience issue, and it would basically make YouTube unusable for the current use cases.

Peer to peer file sharing, as you might expect, means that other end users are providing the videos, not the company. This means that the company cannot guarantee transfer speed, file completeness, or even that the file is the right file. This may end up causing them some legal trouble in the platform current state.

Peer to peer also means that the videos need to be stored in multiple locations, with multiple copies, and Joe Schmo doesn’t have a datacenter in his basement. There will end up being a limit to how much content can be stored, and things that people don’t watch simply won’t be stored anywhere, so you wouldn’t be able to look up that meme video you liked 14 years ago.

It’s just not a good way of providing data as a service to a customer. It’s an alternative for smaller sites that can’t afford, or don’t want the paper trail of, appropriate data server sizes.

This whole incel concept confuses me. Are you telling me there are hordes of dudes out there so unlikable that they can’t even pay a hooker for a handy?

That’s what it appears to be. This is supported somewhat by the term “moonwise” not having a lot of historical usage, leading me to believe that it came along much later by someone who wanted a related antonym.

The only bit about the moon that seems to travel right to left are it’s phase changes, and even that is because we’re outside the rotation and watching along it’s horizontal plane. You’ll see the same thing with anything spinning clockwise in front of you: the closer edge goes right to left, the farther edge goes left to right.

It’s been very difficult to find an answer for this, and I suspect it’s because most of the southern hemisphere is water, and most of the rest of it was colonised by people from the northern hemisphere. As of right now, I couldnt say if there simply weren’t words for that kind of rotational motion or if my google-fu simply isn’t strong enough.

The best answer I’ve been able to find is from Indonesia, which is equatorial. The word “sunwise” translates into a phrase “from left to right” via Google Translate, but that may just be an artifact of machine translation.

That made me curious, so I tried to find a pre-clock synonym in Indonesian. The best answer I have is by translating “Sunwise”, which became “dr kiri ke kanan” or “from left to right.”

Which make sense, if something is going clockwise around you, that’s what you’d see. No idea if that was a real phrase or an artifact of machine translation, though.

“Sunwise”, and for the exact same reason.

Clocks go clockwise because their predecessors did. What were their predecessors?

Sundials.

How does the shadow go around a sundial? Well, sunwise, of course.

Counterclockwise, as said in another comment, was “widdershins”, from a Middle Low German phrase meaning “against the way”.

Kind of. They only have 2 legs, so they’re not as stable as a traditional mount, but they get up to 300 pounds and can run almost 45 mph, so their legs are certainly strong enough to carry a 120-ish pound woman slowly around a safe enclosure. It’s not really practical, but it can be done.

Have you tried Active or Hot? They’re not exactly what you’re describing, but are designed to address the same need: they show you posts with the most activity on the post or comments, weighted toward more recent activity.
